A PRIZE of £1,000 is up for grabs as school teams battle it out to win the final of the institution of Engineering and Technology’s engineering competition for young people.
Teams from London (Hammersmith Academy), Cornwall (Helston Community College), Bromsgrove (Alvechurch Middle School) and Suffolk (City of London School and the Samuel Ward Academy) have reached the national final.
The five schools beat competition from across the UK and will now compete in the IET Faraday Challenge Days National Final on July 12 at the Land Rover BAR base in Portsmouth.
The final teams will put their engineering and technology knowledge to the test by racing against the clock to solve a real-life engineering challenge faced by Land Rover BAR.
David Lakin, IET Educational Manager said “Students who have taken part in the Faraday Challenge Days this year have experienced working as an engineer through hands on and practical engagement with real-life challenges in the hope this will give them an insight in to the life of a real engineer.”
The Faraday Challenge Days are part of a wider Faraday education programme, made up of a whole host of teaching resources and activities to inspire and attract the engineers of tomorrow. To find out more information.
